ocean-atmosphere interactions; atmosphere-ocean interactions; air-sea interactions: The interchanges of heat, moisture, momentum and energy [that] occur between the top layer of the sea and the layer of air in contact with it and vice versa.  2, fiche 1, Anglais, - ocean%2Datmosphere%20interaction

The ocean and the atmosphere form a complex coupled system, exchanging gases, water (and water vapour), particles, momentum, and energy at the air-sea interface. These exchanges affect the biological, chemical, and physical processes of the ocean and influence the water cycle, weather, and climate. The ocean affects Earth’s climate through the long-term consequences of these exchanges. For example, the ocean is a gigantic reservoir for CO₂ [carbon dioxide], which plays a critical role in shaping climate change. [The] research ... intends to advance [the] knowledge and understanding of the role of the ocean-atmosphere interactions and exchanges on climate on a regional and global scale.  2, fiche 1, Anglais, - ocean%2Datmosphere%20interaction

Kinematic stress is the stress per unit density. On the atmospheric side of the air-sea interface, kinematic stress is the stress divided by the density of air. Air-sea interaction can easily be modelled in terms of friction velocity, which can easily be relative to kinematic stress. The magnitude of the square of the friction velocity is equal to the magnitude of the kinematic stress, and the direction of the friction velocity is equal to the direction of the stress. In other words, the kinematic stress is the product of the friction velocity and the magnitude of the friction velocity.  1, fiche 2, Anglais, - kinematic%20stress

[A] Meteorological Observing Program.  4, fiche 3, Anglais, - Genesis%20of%20Atlantic%20Lows%20Experiment

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS

From January to March 1986 a major field project, the Genesis of Atlantic Lows Experiment(GALE), was held off the eastern seaboard of the United States... The objective of the experiment was to improve the understanding of the genesis and development of winter storms in the region. A crucial component of the experiment was the documentation of air-sea interaction that takes place as cold and dry continental airflows over the warm surface waters of the Gulf Stream. To accomplish this, eight instrumented buoys were deployed offshore of North and South Carolina, and two research vessels were tasked with making measurements of surface and subsurface temperatures, salinities, and currents.  5, fiche 3, Anglais, - Genesis%20of%20Atlantic%20Lows%20Experiment
